The hotel has strong charme, old, with original furniture, family atmosphere, ideally located few steps from Damascus gate, the hearth of Jerusalem. But room was not perfectly clean, and people outside in the terrace could easily look inside through the window. Breakfast, due to end at 10.30, was with no bread and not much left already at 10. Very nice staff.

I have stayed at the Jerusalem Hotel twice, both when the city was experiencing extreme weather (a snow storm and a heatwave). They are super welcoming and helpful with checking and advising on onward travel arrangements, storing luggage, etc and I hope to go back. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for solo female travellers.
The rooms are beautiful and atmospheric, although if you stay there please be considerate to your fellow guests and don't talk too loudly in the central hallway, as noise does travel...

I would rather stay in this captivating and charismatic hotel than a sleek and modern accomodation with no soul and personality. Friendly staff and unique rooms with a rustic and unpolished style. Simple but nice arabian style breakfast. Nice beds and A/C working excellent!
